Tuned a half step down. All chords relative to standard tuning.
[Intro]
 G#m   E(x2)
[Verse]
Tonight I G#mset out
On a journey from behind your ears and your nEeck down
Along the sF#harp curves of your spine.
I hear you wG#mhispering
Like a seashell that is trying to keep the oEcean in, 
Tucked in the sF#and dunes of your skin.
[Chorus]
G#mBut no matter hBow hard that we bEeg, the mC#miles take you aG#mway, 
And there's nBothing that we cEan say.C#m  
G#mYou're leaving Bme and I rEealize this, C#mhell has an adG#mdress
And I'm sBtanding on its dC#moorstep.G#m  
[Interlude]
 G#m   E(x2)
[Verse]
G#mAnd later on I ignore the calls
While I wEatch the shapes our shadows take dancing on the walls.
G#mI'm here with you, and you are here with me, and nothing can go wrEong, 
EAt least until the morning comes.
G#mBut I can almost see the sunlight through the window, 
EAnd I can almost taste the wF#arm tears in your eyes, 
G#mSo I wrap my arms around your waist and pull you close to say, 
E"Endlessly, you beF#long with me."
[Chorus]
G#mBut no matter hBow hard that we bEeg, the mC#miles take you aG#mway, 
And there's nBothing that we cEan say.C#m  
G#mYou're leaving Bme and I rEealize this, C#mhell has an adG#mdress
And I'm sBtanding on its dC#moorstep.G#m  
[Interlude]
 G#m   E(x8)
[Bridge]
E(Whoa) there's no pain I won't F#enduG#mre
To keep my fingers locked in yoC#murs; 
No distance I won't go. GoodbEye Sky Harbor. Over, out, alone.
[Outro]

Tuned a half step down. All chords relative to standard tuning.

[Intro]

G#m E

(x2)

[Verse]

G#m

Tonight I set out

On a journey from behind your ears and your neck down

Along the sharp curves of your spine.

G#m

I hear you whispering

Like a seashell that is trying to keep the ocean in,

Tucked in the sand dunes of your skin.

[Chorus]

G#m B E C#m G#m

But no matter how hard that we beg, the miles take you away,

B E C#m

And there's nothing that we can say.

G#m B E C#m G#m

You're leaving me and I realize this, hell has an address

B C#m G#m

And I'm standing on its doorstep.

[Interlude]

G#m E

(x2)

[Verse]

G#m

And later on I ignore the calls

While I watch the shapes our shadows take dancing on the walls.

G#m E

I'm here with you, and you are here with me, and nothing can go wrong,

At least until the morning comes.

G#m

But I can almost see the sunlight through the window,

E F#

And I can almost taste the warm tears in your eyes,

G#m

So I wrap my arms around your waist and pull you close to say,

E F#

"Endlessly, you belong with me."

[Chorus]

G#m B E C#m G#m

But no matter how hard that we beg, the miles take you away,

B E C#m

And there's nothing that we can say.

G#m B E C#m G#m

You're leaving me and I realize this, hell has an address

B C#m G#m

And I'm standing on its doorstep.

[Interlude]

G#m E

(x8)

[Bridge]

E F# G#m

(Whoa) there's no pain I won't endure

C#m

To keep my fingers locked in yours;

No distance I won't go. Goodbye Sky Harbor. Over, out, alone.
